Note: On Boxing Day, a Sunday service operates on route 279, but route N279 does not operate beforehand. There is no service on Christmas Day. On working Mondays to Fridays around Christmas and New Year, a Saturday service operates on route 279, with an appropriate weeknight service beforehand on route N279. The precise dates of operation depend on the day of the week on which Christmas Day falls. On Christmas Eve, the northbound service on route 279 continues as normal until the last journey from Manor House at 0045 on Christmas Day morning.

Please see the Christmas and New Year page for details of the general service pattern applying from year to year (some routes may show additional variations).
